And to Mitch Mcconnell we need to tell him that he is playing with fire we need to make sure that this vacancy is protected and that our election continues and that the American People have their say. The bill of the Washington National cathedral on sunday tolling 200. 00 times each toll representing 1000. 00 people a total of 200000 who have died in the u. S. From the coronavirus 200000. 00 in growth for whom the bell told us. And to our viewers joining us on p. B. S. In the United States and all around the world welcome we begin the day as the u. S. And the world mark and mourn a milestone in the corona virus pandemic a total of 1000000 lives around the globe have been lost to cope with 19 the disease caused by the new corona virus and the virus began spreading like wildfire 6 months ago a pandemic of people pain and sadly politics and it comes as the world marks another important moment the 75th anniversary of the United Nations today un secretary general antonio terrace lamented that the pandemic has revealed humanitys shortest of short comings were unwillingness to Work Together and to help each other. 1000000 dead are 1000000 too many but just as the author Ernest Hemingway conveys in his book it is the value of human life which we must remember when we are reminded for whom those bells toll here in europe the most dire warning came today from the u. K. As the disease spreads as it spreads across age groups we expect to see an increase in hospitalizations and unfortunately those increase in hospitalizations will lead to an increase in deaths the epidemic is doubling roughly every 7 days and you can see that by mid october if that continued you would end up with Something Like 50000. 00 cases in the middle of the day. Disturbing numbers there to talk about that lets cross to carlisle in the u. K. I want to bring in dr John Campbell dr Campbell Works as an independent Health Analyst he has generated a sizable following on social media its good to have you back on the day thank you very much less talk about these numbers the u. K. s top health and pfizer say that the virus is in general circulation doubling every 7 days and then there is this other number 50000. 00 cases per day by next month as if nothing is done i mean these are these are so boring figures. But there are they are very high figures i mean the official increasing cases today was just about 4 and a half 1000 in the u. K. But that was the officially testate cases that have been formally diagnosed the office for National Statistics is currently saying about 6000 new cases per day but that means about 70000 people suffering from the condition at the moment today in the United Kingdom but the common symptom track around with the tim specter and zoe group is probably the most accurate and that shows over 10000 new cases today and nearly 100000 people who are actually ill as we are today and as you rightly say weve got a doubling time of 78. 00 days now i think not figure 50000. 00 new cases per day Patrick Vallance was keen to point out that that was what could happen is not a projection its a possibility hes pointing our risk hes pointing out the danger and of course our job is to make sure that doesnt happen because it doesnt get to those kind of levels because if he did a month later that would transpire into about 200 deaths per day and with all of their youve got Prime Minister Boris Johnson due to address the nation tomorrow do you think there is pressure on him to announce a complete lockdown. No i dont really think thats going to happen Healthy People are talking about the possibility of a Circuit Breaker and a Circuit Breaker is this idea of a short sharp shock where you would have been locked down but only for about 2 weeks but i think theres a few reasons why that probably wont be announced its takes at least 33. 00 weeks for the effects to be through so you would know if it was working and for that to be effective youd have to be locked down for about twice as long as you were only locked so youd be in this alternating cycle of a short sharp shock of Circuit Breakers alternating with normal periods of time and were looking about the next 6 months of that sudden thats going to happen but we are getting this exponential rise but now the case is a doubling regularly so i think we could see increased fines for breaches i think its possible well see more rules on masks and more strict enforcement of mask wearing i think theyll be targeted interventions where we target geographical groups and targets particular types of behavior that i know to be infection drivers theres a cobra meeting tomorrow theyre going to decide this theres probably going to be more Public Education one of the infection drivers in the u. K. Has been late night drinking so im pretty sure that tomorrow were going to see a 10 pm curfew on popes pubs will be closed at 10 pm the best there of course is people will go in from the pub and carry on drinking and they could see further instructions on the on the hospitality in industry as well i dont think schools and universities are going to be affected yet. Where are we going dr campbell mean weve got winter just around the corner for the u. K. For the United States as well as for us here in germany what does that mean does it mean in your opinion that weve got harder times coming force. The simple answer to that brett is absolutely yes we know that all respond 3 viruses spread more in the winter that people get cold noses so their infection is reduced people go inside and shove the windows so theres more than i will know in the air people dont go out and get as much sunshine so theres less bits of indecently collating in the blood and all these things can contribute towards spread of infection theres also the possibility of influenza willowbrook on a very out active Influenza Programme going to the moment but the next 6 months are going to be critical the chief medical officer dent today said with turn to corner and really weve got a fork in the grove now we can decide which way to go one way is that we could have this exponential rise with cases doubling the other ways we can get on top of this virus and keep it managed over winter but whatever happens we are going to have to be taking all of the measures that were taking now at least the next 6 months now i believe a vaccine is coming and i believe that vaccine will be effective and i think its quite possible that a few key words could be vaccinated in vaccinated in december 2020 but most people are not going to get this vaccine till 2021 so weve got this winter to get out and its this seasonal effect this seasonal increase in risk because we shut the doors has reduced the ventilation as we turn on the heating that were going to get increased transmission done in time ive got about a minute left i want to ask you about this case of a man in delaware being reinfected after having recovered from co 19 back in march. What does this tell us about the virus is ability to mutate and what does that mean for the back seat. Good question the virus does mutate but it tends to mutate fairly slowly theres not a fast mutating virus like an influenza virus for example in terms of the vaccine the people that are making the vaccine are aware of the parts of the virus that can mutate quickly and theyve actually targeted parts of the virus which are likely to mutate slowly and that also targeted several parts of the virus so even if one part does mutate that youre still about to get the the vaccine working on the other part in terms of reinfection yes there are definite documented cases of reinfection but very very few only about half a dozen around the world that have definitely been documented so people can become reinfected it is going to be the vast minority of cases and the people who are infected dont get sick they just test positive so far from the cases i know so i believe that when people have been infected with this disease they do have a fairly high degree of immunity we dont know for how long right i suspect given the size coronavirus one showed long term immunity in some cases this is likely to as well im hopeful for that ok dr John Campbell as always at the camera we appreciate your time and your valuable insights tonight thank you thank you. In washington d. C. Mourning the dead is apparently no drag on the speed of partisan politics u. S. President donald trump says he will nominate every placement for the late u. S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg at the end of this week ginsburg died last friday of trump and the republicans want to nominate and confirm a new Supreme Court justice with less than 45 days before the National Election 4 years ago many of those same republicans prevented president obama from doing the same thing and in 26 team the election was still 10 months away if you see the glaring hypocrisy here you are not alone if you sense a lack of decency here you may be in the minority Ruth Bader Ginsburg Supreme Court seat draped in black will as tribute to her outsized legacy drew on the steps outside on the toxic box a lawyer who will fill her shoes is only just beginning democratic president ial nominee joe biden republicans to postpone the vote to replace her until after november election. Graph mood. Few of those few senate republicans. The financial gain really will decide what happens. Please follow your conscience. Dont vote to confirm any were nominated to the circumstances president. Consumer concrete. Dont go there but some will go there even those who in 26 oppose nominating a Supreme Court judge and Barack Obamas last year this was then. It has been 80 years sit since a Supreme Court vacancy was nominated and confirmed in an Election Year there is a long tradition that you dont do this in an Election Year and i believe the right thing to do is for the senate to take up this nomination and to confirm the nominee before election day that is only democrats have vowed to fight for ginsburgs dying wishes she said my most bourbon with is that i will not be replaced by and until a new president is installed the issue looks set to be a rallying call in the weeks ahead its extraordinarily important that we understand the stakes of this vacancy our reproductive rights are on the line our labor rights are on the line our right to health care is on the line labor and you new protections are on the line our climate is on the line outside the Supreme Court on monday morning as continue to pay their respects meanwhile the democratic leadership has hinted the party could even impeach trump in their efforts to fulfill ginsburgs final wish. Another impeachment nominating a Supreme Court justice and weve got an election just around the corner that is a cynics paradise in the United States you could say or Napoleon Frank says no now hes a village journalist hes not a cynic he is a veteran White House Correspondent and former Washington Bureau chief for c. N. N. And frank its going to have you back on the program you know washington politics inside and out the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the republicans changing the rules to replace her before the election it would you say that we were seeing the height of hypocrisy in partisan politics at the moment. We are certainly seeing the high end of partisan politics the republicans will say this isnt hypocritical at all the democrats obviously are and theyre trying to get every one of those sound bites from every one of those senators Lindsey Graham when this came around and 2016 said we should not do this you should not have this vote on merit garland president obamas nominee at the court at the time you list my words against the senate and those that somebody is on a lot of list what the republicans are arguing is back then the white house was held by a Democrat Senate was run by republicans this time the white house is republican the senate is republican one party and somehow that makes a difference my fact check is it doesnt make a difference they said what they said then they did not qualify those remarks they stood firmly not to proceed with the president s nomination they have flipped on their heads this time and it has both sides enormously mobilized yeah yes so weve got a case here above changing the rules i want to take a listen now to what u. S. President trump said on fox and friends a belt the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the republicans rushing to change that to listen. When you have average bear against her who told her her granddaughter on her deathbed allegedly that she her dying wish was to have the next president choose her successor how do you think all this plays out i dont know that you said that or was that written out by at a meeting tonight your mare and pelosi but i would be more inclined to the 2nd ok you know that came out of the wind it sounds so beautiful but that sounds like a humor deal or maybe palosi or or. I mean verb phrase if you know if my niece or nephew heard that i mean i would understand why they say politics is dirty and ugly i mean what do you what do you say to young people who say that politics is just something we dont want to be a part of now. Treat with them i mean im sorry to say you know what what i say what i say and reality is that we have been through many horrible a divisive times in this country in the past i was a new young teenager in the year 1968 when we had troops dying in vietnam when we had cities burning when Martin Luther king was assassinated Bobby Kennedy was assassinated weve not seen anything like this though i would say where the president of United States is himself so antagonistic toward our institutions and in my assessment towards our democracy picking apart undermining confidence 1st example of course is in the election process itself in the very heart of american democracy so i tell young people is. Take a long view participate and vote because your participation matters try as best you can to put this in Historical Perspective but understand just how serious this is and what the stakes are that are involved because i think there is high as theyve ever been certainly in my life and frank earlier this month a you posted a tweet it caught our attention today you were responding to reports of us President Trump calling americas war dead losers and the silent response from the generals who have served under truong and you tweeted this it is a moment requiring courage principle and patriotism where our people of principle it is past time to speak honestly and clearly. I think in the u. S. Senate the people of principle they dont appear to be the people
